Trump Supporter, Can We Talk?

This resistance isn’t about some liberal agenda and it isn’t about the Democratic Party either. It’s never been about anything as small as that. This is about Humanity, of which you belong—a Humanity that is gravely threatened by this man and by what he is doing in these days to our schools, our healthcare, our personal freedoms, our national identity.

We do this work and wage this war and engage in this activism because we know something:

We know that non-Democrats get Cancer, grow old, lose jobs, and need care when they are sick and disabled and depressed, too—and we know that when this happens, the fear will be as real, the burden as massive, the urgency as great, regardless of your politics or your religion or who you supported in the election. Tragedy, poverty illness, and desperation are nonpartisan in their visitation and they do not discriminate in the damage they do.

And we also know that FoxNews and the celebrity evangelists won’t tell you any of this. Their business is to paint the world in the stark black and white of the good people and the evildoers, the righteous and the wicked, the America-lovers—and the Democrats. They broker in conflict, is their lifeblood. And this all-or-nothing, fear-saturated story they sell you never seems to include the fact that you are as vulnerable as any of us to the dangers we’re now contesting. In fact, we know that this may all mean you don’t believe a damn word we’re saying right now, but we can only say it and mean it, and hope you hear our hearts through the haze of fake news and pulpit damnation.

We don’t pushback against this man and his Administration because we believe that by defeating him we will somehow defeat you. It may feel that way when our outrage at what they’re doing begins to spill over into the things you believe to be true.

1. With All The Same Circumstances For The Repug Party.....

we would be seeing the same destruction of our country. Any man - as Repug president - we would be witnessing the same unraveling of our country. Trump is just a good deflection to keep the spotlight on him - while the Repug Party - step by step - dismantles the country.

We have to start running our campaigns and targeting the Repug Party instead of whomever their figurehead of their Party is.

2. No, you can't. Know why? TLDR

3. Nope. A desire to talk only demonstrates weakness to them.

Trump voters only understand a punch in the nose.

4. Deplorables deserve every calamity that will be visited upon them by their savior.

They are beyond the reach of reason, or decency. Fuck them.
